Giiis, Have a Purpose.

Chicago Current. Girls, you cheap
en- yourselves by lack of purpose in life.
You show commendable zeal in pur-
suing your studies-your alertness in
comprehending, and ability in sur
mounting difficult problems have be-
come proverbial; nine times ont of ten
you out rank your brothers thus far,
but when the end is attained, the goal
reached, whether it be the graduating
certificate from a graded school or a
college diploma, for nine out of every
ten it might as well be added thereto,
dead to further activity, or, sleeping
until marriage shall resurrect her.
C~rocheting, placquing, dressing, Wis
ting, music and tlirtations make up
the sun total for the expense and la
Dor expended for her existence. If
forced to earn your W support you
are content to stand behind a counter,
or teach school term after term in the
same grade, while young men who
graduated with you, walk up the grades
as up y ladder, to profcsscrship,
and good salary, from which they
swing off into law, physics. or per,
haps, the legislative armament,
leaving difficulties and obstacles
like nebulu in their wake. You girls,
satisfied with mediocrity, have an eye
mainly for the "main chance'-mar
riage. If YOU marry wcalthy-whlcl
is marrying well according TO The
modern popular idea-you dress more
elegantly. cultivate more fashionable
society, leave your thinking for youl
| husband and minister 10 do for you
and become in the ecor omy OF life but
a scnsient noncntity. ii you are trvC
to the grand passion. and accept witt
it poverty you bake, sew, scrub, spank
the children, and talk with your
neighbor over the back fence foi
recreation, spending the years literally
like the horse in Il treadmill, all fol-
the lack of u purpose sufficiently
potent to convert the latent talent into
a gem of living beauty, a creative force
which makes all ~adjuncts secondary
ike planets to their central sun.
Choose some one course or calling and
master it in all It's details, sleep by il,
swear by it, work for it, and if mar,
riage crowns you, it can but add new

At Mason City, Iowa, Tuesday, the air was
alive with flying chinch bugs, so that pedes.

Friphtful Explosion.

s%TREAToR, Ills, July 2l.-The most terrific
explosion ever known in this section Of the
country occurred at 2 O'Clock this morning.
A car load of dynamite TO be used here In
blasting coal, was struck by lightning at the
shaft and the machine shops were completely
destoyed. The engineers room and out
buildings were swept away by fire. AS far as
can be learned only one man was killed out
right. John Robinson, a miner injured
iured and II IS thought ~ one hundred
five vii! die. They are chiefly
u,oos miners. Hundreds Of large plate
-ronts were destroyed for miles around.
ihe windows in the residences were all
broken. The occupants of the hotels rushed
to the street In their night clothes, there be-
ing a regular ranic among the guests. Thu.
loss Is not known, but IL is thought IT will
not be less than 800, coo. Several hundred
men are thrown out OF employment and many
rendered homeless. The scene OF disaster Is
being visited by hundreds. The explosion
made a hole In the earth fifteen feet deep and
forty feet wide.

Cruel Persian Punishments.

From the Cosmopolitan.
Cruelty seems Unborn with the Pers-
ian. I have seen little children of
both sexes stoning a poor cur to
death and literally hacking miser-
able cat to pieces just for the fun OF
the thing, and without any interior
ence from their parents, often even
with their active cooperation.
The death penalty is usually carried
out with q view of making the culprit
undergo the most horrible tortures,
and of affording grateful sight to the
canous populace. On the Koop. Kapu
in Teheran, the square In the heart of
the city where executions usually
take place, half score of delinquents
are often placed on the raised plat
form, surmounted by the pole painted
a brilliant scarlet, and in full sight of
the rabble assembled they have their
throats cut, their hearts torn out,
their ears and noses slit, their tongues
pulled out, their eyes scared, Or boil
ing pitch poured over their naked
bodies to everybody's great delecta-
ton except the parties directly con-
cerned.
Along the highways one meets,
stuck in the ground, short, hollow
pillars with the upper opening closed
with gypsum. Each of these contains
p mana condemned criminal walled
up alive Faint groans may often be
heard by passers-by, for this mode OF
death is slow and very painful; but
nobody thinks it worth his while to
liberate the poor wretch or to termi-
nate his sufferings by merciful blow.
"Kismet!" they say. "Such is fate"
